Just wanted to share my recent story with you all. I had to go out of town all last week for work. I was VERY stressed out because I was going with 3 other co-workers who LOVE to go out to eat, drink, eat junk food, and not work out.
Anyway, I packed all my food for a week in tupperware, and brought utensils. The drive was about 6 hours. You should have seen me on the interstate driving 90 eating chicken and rice out of a bowl!! Then taking my table spoon and drinking my flax!
To make a long story short I stuck to my diet during the week, ate all my food, put up with the negative comments from co-workers literally every other minute AND went to the local gym everyday at 5:00 AM! I heard, "Why did you bring your own food?", "Why aren't you drinking?", "You're strange", "You're going to the gym today?" "Oh you can eat out with us", yaddya yaddya yaddya!
One day I was out with a co-worker driving, I brought my cooler with my day's food and put it in her trunk. When we pulled over to get a drink, I went into my cooler, got my measuring spoon and took some flax. You should have seen how big her eyes got! She said "Ok, now measuring spoons? You have got to be the wierest person I know!" I look up and she's eating (devouring) a Milky Way dark chocolate candy bar!!! I just smiled and thought- I'm SO awesome!!!
I was so proud of myself for being so strong and for putting up with all their comments!!
*** I was good for 6 1/2 days. They ordered wings and beer the last night there, and I melted. I had 3 wings!! Just 3 I swear!! I just considered that my "cheat" for the week.********
I'm SO glad I'm back home!
Sorry so long, thought I'd share that you can travel and still keep your diet.
